What problem does it solve?
It prevents implementation design drift by checking YAML artifacts for missing structure, incorrect linkages, and intent-compromising content before anything gets locked or built.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-validate intent structure: Reads features, architecture, tech, scenarios, and plan YAML files and checks them for internal consistency against intent constraints.
- Detect compartmentalization breaks: Flags audience collisions (e.g., product/stakeholder content appearing in architect-only artifacts) and other structural issues that make downstream decisions unreliable.
- Guarantee scenario-to-plan traceability: Ensures scenario IDs are properly referenced, gated, uniquely mapped, and counted consistently across the execution plan.
- Produce a decision-ready validation result: Returns a structured validation_result containing per-check outcomes and classified issues without modifying any input artifact.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to run validate-implementation-design with the full paths to features.yaml, architecture.yaml, tech.yaml, scenarios.yaml, and plan.yaml to get a validation_result describing any violations.
